are derived from ^(o'^ 6"" G.M.T.+6»» 6"' G.M.T.), and 

 thereafter from 1(23*^ G.M.T. + S'^ G.AI.T.). 

 Temperature. 



Thermometers are exposed in a Stevenson screen whose position 

 was changed on February 2, 1932, to a position 2 miles dis- 

 tant from and 25 ft. lower than its previous location. 

 Precipitation. 



It is measured by a standard 8-inch gage whose position was 

 also changed in 1932.

 Pressure. 



It is measured by a Kew-type mercurial barometer which was 

 moved temporarily on August 14, 1937 (height of cistern 

 above mean sea level 125 ft.) to a position 100 yards east 

 (height 74 ft.) and then finally on October 17, 1938, to a 

 permanent position with height of cistern 134 ft. above mean

 Temperature. 



Thermometers are exposed in a Stevenson screen whose position
